Will BlizzCon 2010 be in Las Vegas?

Official Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority response:

Due to a clerical/technical error, BlizzCon was inadvertantly listed as occurring in Las Vegas in 2010. The show is not confirmed to be occurring in Las Vegas, and the error has been corrected on our Web site. We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience this may have caused.

The old convention center was nice, but it's way too small for the kind of demand that they get for BlizzCon. My guess is that they went shopping for a nearby convention center that would allow more for people to attend.

Too small? There were 40k tickets sold last year and the Vegas center only lists 30k tickets, it looks like a stupid move people wise if you ask me. They already lose money when they put this on, why shoot themselves in the foot by keeping another 10k rabid fans from going(or rather another 10k fucking scalpers from selling tickets)

Though it makes sense in its own twisted way, next year will be the 5th blizzcon(if I've kept count right) and perhaps blizzard wants to celebrate that with a full on Vegas blowout spectacular. Can someone say Starcraft on ice? Diablo floor show? Warcraft the Musical?

Yes, they did not have a big enough center. In vegas, the new one can hold upwards of 200,000 people. There will be much needed space now.

I'm not arguing that it wasn't like being packed into a freaking sardine can filled with people who didn't know how to shower(oh the stank that permeated that place), but if the vegas center can hold 200k+ people why are they DECREASING the number of tickets to be sold?

Its to early to say how many they will sell I suppose, one would hope blizz wises up to the fact they've got a bigger place, and thus more room for people and booths.
